Early life and education
Sharpe, the younger brother of former NFL star wide receiver Sterling Sharpe, grew up in Glennville, Georgia, where he competed in three sports at Glennville High School. "We were so poor, a robber broke into our house and we ended up robbing the robber," he once joked. "I was a horrible student," he said. I didn't graduate magna cum lauded, I saluted thee. "Thank you, Lawdy!" says the narrator. He played football and basketball as well as competed in track and field at Savannah State, as well as in track and field. He competed in jumping and throwing competitions, staying on target.
Sharpe was a three-time All-Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference selection from 1987 to 1989, as well as the SIAC Player of the Year in 1987. In 1989, he was also selected as a Kodak Division II All-American. He coached the Tigers' football team to their best records in the program's history: 7–3 in 1988 and 1989: 8–1. Sharpe, a senior, had 61 passes for 1,312 yards and 18 touchdowns, including three games with more than 200 yards.

In 2009, he was inducted into the Division II Football Hall of Fame, Savannah State's athletic Hall of Fame, and the Black College Football Hall of Fame in 2013.
Professional career
Sharpe was not a high-rated draft pick in the 1990 NFL Draft despite his stellar college career. Sharpe's (6'2", 230 pounds) was deemed too heavy for a receiver and too small for a tight end in addition to playing Division II college football. He was eventually selected by the Denver Broncos in the 7th round as the 192nd pick. Denver converted him to a tight end after two miserable seasons as a receiver in which he only passed 29 times. Sharpe's third season was a success, with him receiving 53 passes. He stayed with Denver until 1999, winning two championship rings in the process, including Super Bowl XXII and Super Bowl XXXIII. He appeared in GM Wheaties boxes with four other Broncos following the 1997 season championship, his first appearance. He returned to the Broncos after a two-year with the Baltimore Ravens, where he gained his second championship ring at Super Bowl XXV. He was a player at the University of Essex until 2003. He went from there to becoming a CBS NFL analyst.
Sharpe's general manager, Ozzie Newsome, said of him during his career: "I think he's a risk when he's on the field." He has to be double-teamed. He's a natural route runner. He has demonstrated that he can make the big plays. He's the only thing that sets him apart. He's a threat." Sharpe was drafted to the All-Pro Team four times, competed in eight Pro Bowls (1992–1998, 2001), and gained over 1,000 receiving yards in three different seasons. Sharpe tied for 13 receptions for 156 yards and a touchdown in a 1993 playoff match against the Los Angeles Raiders, breaking a postseason record. In the Ravens' 2000 AFC title game against the Oakland Raiders, he got a short pass on third down and 18 from his own four-yard line and rolled it 96 yards for a touchdown, the Ravens' only touchdown, the Ravens scored. This will be the Ravens' longest offensive play in team history as of 2022. In each of Sharpe's other two playoff games, the team also got a 50+ yard pass. In 203 games, he completed his 14-year career with 815 receptions for 10,060 yards and 62 touchdowns.
